The Ochre Cottage

This painting captures the rustic charm of a traditional Kerala home bathed in the harsh, bright light of noon. Utilizing a vibrant palette of earthy ochres and burnt sienna, the work highlights the simple beauty of daily life—from the makeshift blue tarp providing shade to the laundry drying in the sun. The loose, wet-on-wet greenery in the background provides a soft contrast to the structured stone steps and tiled roof.
